Los Angeles Travel: A practical guide for self-guided tours in Los Angeles city. Los Angeles is located in southwest California, the largest city in California, and the second largest city in the United States, after New York. Los Angeles has the most and best museums, theaters, concert halls, and galleries in the United States. Los Angeles Tourism - Taxi Taxi charges are higher and are charged based on the mileage. For example, it costs about $50 to travel from Los Angeles Airport to downtown Los Angeles, but with waiting time and other fees, it may exceed $80. From Los Angeles Airport to Monterey Park, where Chinese people are concentrated, it costs more than $80. Passengers can call a taxi at a hotel or restaurant, or take a taxi at the Taxi Zone near the bus station. When carrying large luggage, there may be additional charges. In addition, a 10%-15% tip will be added to the price printed on the meter. Los Angeles Travel - Self-driving The minimum driver's age in California must be 16 years old, and a US or international driver's license is required. On unmarked roads, the maximum speed in the city is 25 mph and on the highway is 65 mph. California drives on the right, and most restaurants offer cheap parking. Los Angeles Tourism - Los Angeles Currency Exchange Please try to exchange US dollars in China before coming back. There are not many exchange shops here, only a few are in large shopping malls, and the exchange rate is astonishingly higher than that of banks, which is very uneconomical. If you want to exchange U.S. dollars at a Los Angeles bank, it is even more troublesome, and you have to open an account and other unnecessary procedures. It is strongly recommended to exchange enough money before using it, and try to use your credit card for all kinds of purchases. It is very convenient to withdraw money from a credit card, you can do it at any ATM, but it must have the Visa, Master logo. You can exchange U.S. dollars at major domestic banks (such as Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, etc. If the amount is too large, you need to make an appointment in advance). Los Angeles Tourism - Los Angeles Tips Tipping is voluntary. Generally, 10%-15% will be given for lunch and more than 15% for dinner. For banquets or group dinners, restaurants will generally directly include 15% or 18% tips in the bill. If the service is particularly good and the customer is particularly satisfied, the customer can tip more appropriately. If the service attitude is not good, or the restaurant is very busy and the waiter is too busy, and the customer is not served, the customer can tip less or not at all. Tips for tour guides from travel agencies are usually two dollars a day. For valet parking in hotels or larger parking lots, tips are usually one to two dollars. Hotel porters who can carry luggage will get a tip of 1 to 2 dollars per bag. Taxi tips are 15% of the fare.

Los Angeles Tourism-Los Angeles Communications The major mobile phone operators in the United States include AT&A, T-mobile and Verizon, all of which need to be processed in stores.
